The focus is on dynamicalmodels that utilise biologically plausible neural network architectures with local associative synaptic learning rules. The chapter begins with a review of our own laboratory's work in this area. We present a series of hierarchical motor models and relate these to various areas of brain function. This is followed by a discussion of the limitations of these models and directions for future research.
